Is busted. When I turned it on this morning there was a loud pop - probably a fuse. I don't have a key to Infoseed, so I can't check it. But, it was doing the same thing repeatedly yesterday, so this probably stems from the water problem on Wednesday. There was no water due to a burst pipe outside and the chamber went dry and kept trying to heat water. This = bad.

I have called espresso-fixy guy but no answer. He is apparently good but unreliable. We have no coffee. What is to be done???

I will get Alex to call the guy again tomorrow. I am away until Wednesday.

Should someone look into the insurance to see what the procedure is if we have to go new? If it is fucked, we might need something from the repair guy saying so. We might also need something from the Council showing that they did repairs to a burst pipe out front.
